What do you do with oil in catch can?

I haven't gotten a catch can yet but I know how they work and stuff. I was just wondering what most of you guys did with the oil that they catch. Do you throw it away? Pour it back in the motor? Whats best?

I would think it would be best to discard it. Going through any of the intake tract, seems like it would get carbon and other such contaminants in it.

Dispose of the oil in the catch can. Don't pour it back into the motor.

I had a thought that the oil catched wouldn't be the cleanest oil. So putting it back in the motor wouldn't make sense. Thanks guys

Collect it in a quart can and give it to the oil change guys to dispose of properly.

Be kind to mother earth.
